Nico only has himself to blame after the error he made at the start.

Rosberg finally getting some of the bad luck

Finners · 12 Jun 2016 at 20:11

Surprised he went onto softs

He does it every time, surely he knows that Hamilton won't yield. He could have waited.

Flibster · 12 Jun 2016 at 20:12

Rosberg had a used set of softs put on, only one lap on them though so essentially new.

Skeeter · 12 Jun 2016 at 20:13

Odd they didn't go for Ultras?

Ok, I'll bite. What mistake? Hamilton should have given him room, they are team mates.

Even the rules state he should leave room as a significant amount of his car was along side him.

Firstly, there was room. Secondly, that rule doesn't apply there.

Rosberg drove into someone who he knew was there and who was fully entitled to be there.

Flibster · 12 Jun 2016 at 20:14

Only Hamilton, Bottas, Alonso and Magnussen staying on the one stop strategy.

There is only really room for one car in that corner once you get to the apex.

Hamilton would literally have to follow the kerb round which at that speed wouldn't be possible or merited. Hamilton was also following the racing line.

Flibster · 12 Jun 2016 at 20:16

Oh dear....

CaptainRAVE · 12 Jun 2016 at 20:16

Vettel cracks under the pressure.

CaptainRAVE · 12 Jun 2016 at 20:17

That puncture hasn't worked out badly for Rosberg with these new tyres.

SS-89 · 12 Jun 2016 at 20:17

Tbh I don't think he was going to catch him. We've seen from previous races how much better tyres hold up when in clean air. Don't understand surrendering track position tbh.

he has a brake pedal, 3 or 4 cars can fit side by side the track is wide enough

CaptainRAVE · 12 Jun 2016 at 20:19

Hamilton pulling away from Vettel.

Hahaha thats cute!

Flibster · 12 Jun 2016 at 20:20

Vettel now needs to gain 0.6s per lap just to catch Hamilton.

rubberduck · 12 Jun 2016 at 20:20

No way can Vettel get 0.5 seconds per lap unless Hamilton's tyres go off 'the cliff'.

SS-89 · 12 Jun 2016 at 20:20

Vettel lost the race by going two stop.
